Description Dan Williams 2005-05-03 20:01:36 UTC
Version details: Also in 2.0 and 2.1
Distribution/Version: Fedora Core 3 and 4

1) Tools->Settings (or Edit->Preferences)
2) Click "Mail Preferences" on left
3) _Un_check "Use same fonts as other applications" checkbox
4) Set both fonts to "MiscFixed 11"

Open a mail message, then File->Print or File->Print Preview.  The message text
dos not show up.
Comment 1 Dan Williams 2005-05-03 20:03:13 UTC
It might have something to do with MiscFixed being a bitmap font?
Comment 2 Jeffrey Stedfast 2005-05-04 16:09:33 UTC
probably. but this isn't mailer code so I dunno
Comment 3 Dave Malcolm 2005-05-06 02:52:46 UTC
Looks to be a generalized problem with gnome apps printing bitmaps fonts.

See this downstream discussion in Red Hat bugzilla:

Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-05-12 13:15:30 UTC
there are also postings on evolution mailing list about this, therepore confirming.
also adding printing keyword.
Comment 5 Subodh Soni 2005-05-26 09:22:55 UTC
It seems to be printing the mail but the fonts are not MiscFixed which we set in
the mail preferences. The print comes fine but the fonts are the default. So
this bug is still valid.
Comment 6 Subodh Soni 2005-05-26 09:25:10 UTC
The gtkhtml versions I am using on my test machine are: 

gtkhtml2-3.6.2.0.200505251324-0.snap.novell.0.1
libgtkhtml-2.6.1-2.1

I'm running Sylpheed-Claws, that uses the Gnome print engine too. 
The problem does not seem to be restricted to bitmap fonts. 
I've tried with Adobe PostScript fonts and whatever I found
on my system. The only thing that seems to work is Monospace. 
Any other font generates either nothing or unreadable gibberish. 
Comment 10 Michael R Head 2007-02-25 21:06:12 UTC
Is this different from bug 301586 ? There seem to be at least three different bugs about message font size in the bugzilla...
Comment 11 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 01:03:11 UTC
Bumping version to a stable release.
Comment 12 Matthew Barnes 2008-06-27 03:27:34 UTC
The font kerning patch in bug #446894 fixes this.
